Pauline Alpert recordings......
By Robin Pratt

subj:Pauline Alpert recordings......

I am sure as extensive as the liner notes seem to be from your NPR notice
Karl that they don't mention that the originals of those Radio Transcriptions
came from Jeffrey Morgan of Allentown , PA through an old friend of his whom
I believe is now deceased.  More than likely Jeffrey is not mentioned in her
liner notes.  I hope the notes are more reliable and accurate than they were
in the Gershwin CD.  At the Chicago Conservatory when I was a student, they
told us NEVER trust record jacket notes as they were written to sell
recordings and not preserve history!  Having been involved in reproducing
pianos and music rolls for 40+ years, the Gershwin CD liner notes proved they
were right after all.  (Frank Milne...Gershwin's personal editor?????????????)

Have a nice day.
